Have you seen Caspar?

The parents of a Carlisle man, missing since 14 January, have appealed for help in finding him.

Caspar Capel was last seen in Penrith, Cumbria on the morning of Wednesday 14 January at Eden Housing Association.

His father Dick Capel told The Big Issue in the North: “Caspar apparently left his hostel accommodation in Carlisle without his medication or his mobile phone and has not withdrawn money from his bank account since he took a small amount out on the day he went missing after visiting Eden Housing Association.

“It is extremely unlike him not to keep in touch with us and we have had no contact from him for 12 days. We are extremely concerned for his safety, not least because he has regularly talked about taking his own life.”

Caspar is 43, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, has dark brown short hair, blue eyes, a short beard and moustache. He was wearing dark clothing and perhaps a beany hat or flat cap.

Caspar has spent most of his life since the age of 10 in Upper Eden and South Lakeland area of Cumbria.

Anybody who might have seen Caspar or know his whereabouts is urged to contact police immediately on 101 and ask to speak to the duty sergeant at Durranhill Police Station, Carlisle.
